MARRIAGE BY CAPrUaE.

Perhaps the most curious of the in
stances of marriage by capture are
those to which are given the generic
name of "bride-racing." There is the
"love-chase" of Turkestan. Here the
bride, "armed with formidable whip"
mounts swift horse, and is then pur-
sued by all her suitors. She is the
prize in the race. She has, however,
the right to use her whip, and ap-
parently often does SO with no mean
force" on the pursuers whom she does
not favor. 1t is sad, however, to relate
that the traveller who describes this
custom adds that in reality the race is
always "sold" by the father, and that,
in fact, "the 1ove-chase is mere matter
of form" M. Vambery was witness of
such chase where the maiden held on
her lap the carcass of goat which it
was the object of the bridegroom and
the young men who attended him to
snatch from her. One of the tribes of
Northeastern Asia, the Koraks, have
an extremely elaborate system of BRIDE
racing, which takes place in tent con-
tanning numerous compartments, Ear
ranged in continuous circle round it's
inner circumference"
The girl is free of marriage if she
can get through this series of compart-
ments without being caught. Besides
her start, the women of the encamp-
ment throw every possible impediment
in the mans way, tripping up his feet,
holding down the curtains, and beating
him with alder switches. The man,
however strong, has apparently no
chance if the lady really wishes to get
away from him. In race witnessed
by MI. Kennan, indeed, the bride had
to wait in the last compartment for her
bridegroom, so completely had she dis
tanced him. A bride-race in Singapore
must some time, we should imagine, be
very pretty sight. The natives are
accustomed to beating, and SO have de-
veloped bride boat-race. The cere-
mony is thus described:
"rhe damsel is given q canoe and a
double-bladed paddle, and allowed a
start of some distance; the suitor, SINH
larly equipped, starts off in chase. If
he succeeds in overtaking her, she be-
comes his wife; if not the match is
broken off. STUDIES of A11cient His

THE EXPECT or sMoK1NG.

DR.. Chudnowski recently experimental
on twelve Russian soldiers with view to
discovering the effect of cold applications
to the epigastrium on the rapidity of di-
gestion. Each soldier was regaled heartily;
his epigastrium was properly refrigerated,
and the exciting contest began. Unfor-
tunately for lovers of the weed, the COM
petitors were divided into smokers and nom
smokers. The rival teams digested their
very hardest, but the nom smokers out
distanced the others by the space of one
hour The ArDonaut.

During The Fan,tnc.

In the time of famine rich man
permitted the poorest children of the
city to come to his house, and said to
them: "Hhere stands crate full OF
bread. Each of you may take loaf
from it, and you may come every day
until God sends better times"
The children at once surrounded the
basket, striving and quarreling over
the bread, because each desired to OBJ
tain the finest, and finally went off
without word of thanks.
Only Franziska, clean but poorly
clad little girl, remained standing at
distance, then took the smallest OF
the loaves left in the basket, kissed her
hand gratefully to the man, and went
quietly and becomingly home.
On the next day the children were
equally ill-mannered, and Franziska this
time had loaf which was scarcely
half as large rs the others.
But when she reached home and her
mother broke the bread, there fell Out
a number of new silver pieces. The
mother was frightened, and said:
"Take the money back at once, fol-
it certainly got into the bread by acci,
dent,
Franziska did as she was bid. But
the benevolent man said to her:
mo, no, it was not an accident;
had the silver baked in the smallest
loaf in order to reward thee, thou good
child. Ever remain as peace-loving and
satisfied"
He who would rather have smaller
leaf than quarrel about greater, will
always bring a blessing to the home,
even though no gold is baked in the
bread.

MILKING TRUTH HURT LIKE SIAN.
DEE.

Life is made up of small defeats, with
only here and there winning Water
loo. Is it necessary the world should
know, then, every time we are over
come, or just how often we win or lose
in our petty engagements? Are there
no blunders that we can keep to our
selves? Is it necessary, if man has
been in Joliet, that truth should put q
plaeard to that effect on his forehead? !?
Cannot one evade the publicity of truth
sometimes, as one tunnels through u
hill? The daylight the other side is
just the same whether the world know
whether we burrowed or climbed to
reach it. Many man has been dis
couraged in the path of retrieving an
error and living down sin just because
some busy-body was always ready to
tell the truth about him and keep sus-
picion, like dog, forever at his heels.
There are great many people in this
world who have reputation for being
very frank Half of them are more in
solent than honest. A truth, blurted
out rudely, when there is no occasion
for it, is an impertinence.
"Ihat is an awfully unbecoming bon
net you are wearing, says Miss latter
fiips; Excuse me for being so blunt, but
you know always speak my mind right
out"
Such candor is surer sign of ill
breeding, my dear, than to eat with
your knife or to neglect to respond to
an invitation to lunch.
"Your husband is always talking with
Miss So and So," says feather-headed
woman, whose mental horizon is limited
to personalities and gossip. There is
sufficient truth in this statement to sail
it, and away it goes down the wind like
winning yacht on the home stretch.
By and by somebody's heart will ache
because fool took occasion to bawl a
harmless fact into the ears of other
fools whose hearts are evil enough to
color everything in the world with
their own impurity. Many person
will shudder at the bare thought of a
slip in etiquette, but every day by sim
ply repeating facts which do not con-
cern them and telling truths without
knowledge of the circumstances, which
always color truths, they are rendering
themselves more obnoxious than any
ignorance of the formal usages of good
society could ever make them. a liar
is about the meanest creation of Satan
but there is something meaner and tIla
is the pan or woman who goes abour
telling distorted truths in a way that
shall injure regulations or cause heart
aches.
If you know something bad about an
other or think you do, why should you
tell it, only that, like the tiger, you
like to pick live bones ?-4mber, in

DRAWING LOTS F0R DEATH.

AT the first reference is note signed
j. S., giving an account of the drawing
of lots by the officers of the English
army during the American war, to de-
eide who should be surrendered to Gen.
Washington, to suffer death in retallia-
tion for the execution of rebel cap
tain by Royalist officer.
The writer gives list of the British
officers who drew lots on that occasion,
and among the names given is that of
"Sir Charles Morgan" This Sir
Charles Morgan was my father. His
name, however, at that time was not
Morgan, as he did not assume the name
of Morgan TIL 1892. He was then
Capt. Charles Gould, of the Cold
stream Guards, and have heard him
narrate the circumstances of the case
which are just what are here reported,
and having recorded them 1 will give
q copy of my notes, which I made at
the time.
Capt. Charles Gould, afterward Sir
Charles Morgan, second baronet, was
gazetted ensign in the Coldstream
Guards, November 81, 1777 ;Lieutenant
and Captain, March %, 17S1; Captain
and Lieutenant Colonel, May IA, 1890;
and retired December 4, 1892, when
he assumed the name Of Morgan. He
left England for America December
81, 1880, and on October 10, 1881, he
| was, with 5000 of the British army,
taken prisoner at Yorktown, and after
eight months his family were able to
procure an exchange for him, and he
returned to England. He mentioned
the circumstance Of the drawing lots,
but, so far as I can recollect, only men
toned the names of three officers of the
Guard, Asgill, Ludlow, and Perrin,
| who drew lots which should be shot by
the French-Americans. The lot fell
on Asgill, and Capt. Gould was, on his
return to England, the bearer of the
sad intelligence to his mother, Lady
Asgill, who was very intimate with his
family.
On arriving at the house of Lady AS
gill he was shown into room where
Lady Asgill and another lady were
seated, and when he made the sad COM
munication both ladies swooned away
and fell, as it We're, lifeless on the floor.
The surprise and horror of the servant,
who was Immediately summoned by
Capt. Gould, may well be imagined
when, on entering the apartment, he
found the two ladies apparently lifeless
on the floor, thinking that Capt. Could
had murdered them. Assistance, how
over, and restoratives were quickly at
hand, but the shock was necessarily
very great. 1t fortunately happened
that Lady Asgill had great influence
with the Queen of France, who sue
ceeded in preventing the sentence be-
fling carried into execution.
Sir Charles Morgan was born in the
reign Of George II. and died in 1S47
and there is, therefore, no clear gener-
alton between the reign Of George II.
and myself. - Octauiats Morgan, IN

Their Picnic.

City Engineer Msury was out in the
country yesterday with County Com
missioner Hoefling inspecting the two
new wooden truss bridges over Elm
creek now completed by Mr.. Maury and
ready to be turned over to the county.
Commissioner Hoefiing was pleased
with the bridges and says they will be
accepted next week.
Mr.. Maury says they went out on the
Frio road for 20 miles, then turned south
toward Atascosa county and came back
via the CARA road. During this long
drive they found but one place
where water could be had, and nowhere
could they secure anything to eat, being
compelled to use the lunch they had
taken with them, picnic fashion. Every
where were traces OF restitution, and
going out they were met by the people
driving in their loads of hoof, horns and
hides OF their dead cattle, to sell for food

were used to haul these burdens were
